it's saturday night and i find myself at home writing an essay. alas.
i hope you all enjoyed the 90s special on tuesday, i for one had a great time. rediscovering the genius of ash's "girl from mars" would have to be a highlight.
we're thinking there will have to be a part two sometime in the future, in the meantime you can make some suggestions for other specialty shows and send them to us if you like.
thought it's about time for an MP3 update so here goes!
rocketship are a fairly obscure indie pop band from the 90s, who released one mini album a certain smile, a certain sadness back in 1996 and haven't really been seen since. until now ...
the band have a brand cd(-r), here comes ... rocketship being released on the non-stop cooperative sehr soon.
the album is full of dreamy electronica, glitches and sugary pop. parts remind me of max tundra's mastered by guy at the exchange
rocketship - no more tomorrows
rocketship - our new track
hemstad are a swedish band who've been together for a few years, and have finally released an album - out now on catbird records.
these guys are really cool - a mix between the go! team and architecture in helsinki
